            December 16.

            Darkwing Tower, Audubon Bay Bridge, Saint Canard, Darkwing's Earth.

The Audubon Bay Bridge of Saint Canard, one of whose towers (one of the two that were closer to the city's core) was Darkwing Tower.  At Darkwing Tower, the home of Darkwing Duck, the entire Justice Ducks organisation was in the dumps.  "This," said Fenton Crackshell, secret identity of GizmoDuck, "is the pits."

            Darkwing said, "Correction:  the mega-pits!  No villain would commit a crime in this foul weather!  Foul?  F.O.W.L.!  F.O.W.L. must be behind this!  Only the Fiendish Organisation for World Larceny would stoop to something so low!"

            "You overestimate them, Darkwing," said Scrooge McDuck, visiting from Duckburg.  "No one could come up with this."

            "Then why did the rain-cloud just stop?" asked Huey, looking out a window.  He and his brothers, Dewey and Louie, and Webbigail were now teenagers, about Scrooge's height.  Huey wore a solid red shirt.  Dewey wore a vertically striped shirt in white and blue.  Louie wore a green shirt and a baseball cap, which he had backwards, like many others of his generation.  Webby still wore a pink dress and a pink bow.

            "Aha!" said Darkwing.  "Only one fiend - and one fiend alone - could stop a cloud while such a solar wind is gusting through the galaxy:  that over-advertising, water-brained master of all fluids, the Liquidator!"

            Launchpad asked, "Heh, heh!  Sounds pretty far-fetched, DW!  If Liquidator can control the clouds, why hasn't he done that before?"

            "I'm pretty sure that Liquidator is behind this.  Liquidator, remember, can control all fluids, which can be either liquid or gas, in any way possible.  That means he can cause water to form a cloud massive enough to fly over the whole galaxy."

            Gosalyn Mallard, Darkwing's adopted daughter, was watching TV when Webra Walters came on the air.  Webra was a blonde-haired toon-dog.  "Darkwing, here's something interesting!"

            "What is it, Gosalyn?" asked Darkwing as he went over to the TV.

            To the TV audience, Webra Walters said, "The mystewious waincwoud has stopped dead over Saint Canard and Duckburg.  This occuwwence is baffwing aww meteowawogists aww over the countwy.  According to another weport, Mega Vowt, Bushwoot, Quacker Jack, and Ammonia Pine are turning off the power, overgwowing the city in pwants, tewwowising with toys, and sucking the money out of the bank vawts.  More intense study shows that F.O.W.L., particuwarwy the organisation of their most tweachewous agents, is at work again.  How wong wiww it be before F.O.W.L. High-Command is put out of business?  No one knows!"  Webra Walters went off the air to put the regularly scheduled programs back on.

            "Aha!" said Darkwing.  "I now know that the Liquidator is up to his watery tricks again."

            Suddenly, the hand-radio in Darkwing's suit beeped.  The person on the other end said, "Darkwing, this is Director J. Gander Hooter of SHUSH.  Do you read me?"

            "This," said Darkwing Duck, taking the radio and talking into it, "is Darkwing, Hooter.  What is it?"

            "I just found out, Darkwing, that F.O.W.L. is ransacking the city!  It is quite possible that the dastardly, deviant Liquidator is up to his tricks about the cloud.  Mega Volt, Bushroot, Quacker Jack, and Ammonia Pine are the F.O.W.L. agents destroying the city.  I believe that Steelbeak and Negaduck are in charge of this evil escapade."

            "No need to worry about me, Hooter.  I'll get over to Negaduck's hideout and blow those creeps away."

            "Very well, Darkwing.  Good luck."  Hooter cut the communication.

            Darkwing leapt onto the table.  "Everyone, let's get dangerous!"

            "Good idea!" said Fenton.

            "So, say the secret words all ready," said Mrs. Crackshell (Fenton's mother), lying on a couch and munching Quacker Jack Snacks.  She was similar in appearance to him, except she wore red make-up.  Usually, at home, her hair remained in pink curlers, and she stayed in a pink robe.  Now, though, her curly blonde hair was nicely done, and she wore a nice blue dress.  She was not as young as she appeared to be.

            "Blabberin' blatherskite!" shouted Fenton.  Instantly, his GizmoDuck suit formed around him, and he was transformed into GizmoDuck.

            Darkwing Duck spread out his cape, then wrapped his body in it.  Instantly, he, GizmoDuck, Launchpad McQuack, Scrooge McDuck, and Gosalyn disappeared into smoke.

            * * *

            Negaduck and Steelbeak's Hideout.

            In Negaduck's headquarters, Steelbeak and Negaduck were feasting their eyes on the treasure that Ammonia had stolen, with the aid of Mega Volt, Quacker Jack, and Bushroot.  Steelbeak said, "Now, that is something of which F.O.W.L. will be proud.  I'll call High-Command now."

            "This loot is great," said Negaduck.  "Good work, you four."

            Darkwing's smoke appeared in the room.  His voice said, "I am the terror that flaps in the night.  I am the curveball that whacks you in the head.  I am the chair that breaks when you sit in it.  I am the brakes that fail when you have to stop in a hurry.  I am the weed-killer that destroys your precious daises.  I am the winged scourge that pecks at your nightmares.  I am the prank call that wakes you at 3:00 A.M."  At this time, Darkwing and his friends all appeared.  "I am the leader of the Justice Ducks.  I am Darkwing Duck!"

            "Must you always introduce yourself?" asked Bushroot.

            "Do you never knock?" asked Quacker Jack.

            "You need a shorter intro, intruder!" said Liquidator.

            "Aw, forget the disturbance.  Think nothing of it,. . ." began Mega Volt.  He then finished abruptly, ". . .'CAUSE I'M GOING TO WASTE THIS FOOL!!!"  Mega Volt blasted a ray of electricity at Darkwing.  Darkwing pulled his cape in front of his face.  The electric bolt was deflected off his cape and really wrapped up Mega Volt.  "Yaah!  You good guys always have to win!  Why not the bad guys?  EYYYYYYYYOW!!!"  At 'EYYYYYYYYOW!!!', Mega Volt's electricity fried his battery.

            "Ready to succumb, scum?" asked Darkwing.

            "I'll need your help for this trick, Liquie," said Bushroot.

            "Whatever you say, Bushie," said Liquidator.  Bushroot tossed some seeds out at the Justice Ducks.

            "Mere seeds?" said GizmoDuck.  "Ha!  It'll take more than a few seeds to stop us, you cad!"

            "I think so," said Liquidator.  "Maybe some water is in order!  Hoo, hoo, hee, hee, hee!"  Liquidator soaked the seeds.  The seeds then grew and entrapped all the Justice Ducks.  "Ha, ha!"

            "Hey!" said Launchpad.

            GizmoDuck said, "You cad!  You. . . you. . . you cad!"

            "Got any weed-killer gas, Darkwing?" asked Scrooge.

            "No," said Darkwing.  "I forgot it."

            "Nice time for you to forget your weed-killer gas, DW," said Gosalyn.

            "Like, F.O.W.L. High-Command will be proud of you, Liquidator and Bushroot," said Steelbeak.  "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
